The 2026 guide for installers and dealers: what each way into the business costs, the RR80L mixer, the standard mix and material cost per square foot. Everything in the guide is on this page, and the PDF is there to download.
In short
The Contractor Edition 2026 is the guide for contractors who want to install or sell poured EPDM rubber surfacing with Resin Rubber. It sets out what each way into the business includes, the RR80L mixer specifications and standard mix, and material cost per square foot. Resin Rubber supplies materials, training and tools; approved installers do the installations.
Contractor Edition 2026 Resin Rubber supplies projects across the United States and Canada. Homeowners and specifiers are matched to an approved installer through the request form, and each dealer holds a protected 50-mile territory. Territories are still open across North America.
One price covers the kit, the training and the launch, with no set-up fee, no per-seat training charge and no license fee. The Starter Kit suits someone who wants the kit and the training without a pallet of stock on day one. Starter + Stock suits someone with work lined up who wants to earn straight away.
